Design Library: circular bookcase

How is it already mid week?  Even though it feels like we have squeezed in 2 weeks into the past few days... I have seen this pic floating around and I love the modern fun feel to the space and that unique bookcase doesn't hurt it!   

We have so much more to come for this week so don't miss out- a great giveaway and a new series here on the blog over the next few days.

modern grey Paris kitchen...

 

Pretty much perfect I think.. there are so many styles that I love and I would need a hundred houses to really explore them all..but I guess that is why I have the blog so that I can enjoy them and share them all with you.  This kitchen is so simple and beautiful!  The detailing on the ceiling makes it just that little bit of perfect.

Shed {giveaway}

 

Our second gift in our Holiday giving series is from Shed...  I am super excited about this shop and their Moroccan silver pouf that they are offering!  

Shedopened in 2009 in Maplewood NJ. It is a tiny store packed with a lot of oomph!  They have a great mix of modern, vintage and the unexpected. This month they launched their website in order to have a larger store without additional square footage, each item in the shop is carefully selected to give your room that extra special something, that pop that we are all looking for!

 

 These are a few other goodies that I saw while shopping their site.  I WANT one of those sheepskins for my kitchen nook, it is perfect for on the chairs... a little bit fun// a little bit funky!

For your chance to win the silver Moroccan pouf just follow the steps on the widget at the end of this post.  A winner will be announced on November 29th!  Best of luck!

Texture and light...

 

Sometimes it is hard to see what makes a space really special and perfect...  here I can see it clearly.. the fantastic texture on the walls.  These look like block print molds and I love them!  The fact that they chose to hang them on the wood paneled walls makes it so interesting for me.  

Aside from this beauty... we are getting ready for our Holiday Giving Series here on the blog, I cannot wait to share some wonderful shops with you again this year!  

Happy Thursday!

Palm Springs inspiration.

 

Yesterday I took a quick trip out to Palm Springs to look at a property that I will be working on.  I can honestly say that even though it is just over an hour away from me I have only been to Palm Springs a handful of times.  I am not sure why exactly why that is but I think I might be visiting a little more often, not just for work.  

Once I arrived back at the office I wanted to keep the inspiration going so I pulled some ideas for the exteriors and interiors... here is what I was thinking... natural wood horizontal fencing, dark stained or painted paneled doors, vein cut marble floors, slab counter tops, wall hung cabinets and mod lighting.  I love getting excited about work!

simple greige

 

I love the simple clean lines of this home..  The floor makes me smile.. and just how clean and easy it all seems.  The texture is just enough and the dark grout in the backsplash keeps the tile from being too white.. perfect.

eames molded dining chairs

 

If you have seen my pinterest boards lately you will see how much I am loving the mix of traditional and modern pieces in spaces.  My latest love is the eames molded dining chair.  I cannot explain why I love it mixed with all types of things.  It is simple and fun and makes me happy!

It can go industrial, glam, modern and country..  what's not to like.

I am thinking of putting them in my kitchen nook for a fun little change, I have a problem I know!

What do you think?  Love?

Grey in the Hamptons..

 

The thought of summering in the Hamptons seems fabulous and this would be the perfect spot to catch up some R & R and see how things are done on the other side of the states.   This is just how I would design my beach house if I was so lucky to have one a simple modern eclectic mix!
